ProductionManagerPro gives you excellent return on your investment with features including:

Also among the innovations in ProductionManagerPro is a cross-platform Java-based server that works on either Mac OS X or Windows. The database runs on the powerful MySQL Pro 4.1 platform. Publication chains can harness this power using server groups that aggregate all ad data to all servers, yet let ads be built locally to keep file access fast. When an ad or element from another server is needed, a secure connection lets you access what you need, while still keeping your data safe, replicated and backed up.

Among the automated features designed to save your staff valuable time are scheduled, e-mailed reports that do everything from providing you with today’s to-do list to letting you know what ads are still out for proof; e-mailed proofs that can feature an individualized letter for each customer; pagination file delivery to remote sites; conversion from print to Web formats; export of files to local servers and FTP sites; and e-mail messages that can be triggered by any status.

Our new administration tools, also cross-platform, allow for remote administration of your software from any machine anywhere. You can configure your servers, schedule auto-backups (or back up right now) and even allow our support reps to connect, if desired.

The PMP Web Tool lets your ad reps search the database using a Web browser from anywhere with an Internet connection. They can enter and change customer information, schedule ads, download proofs and more. This excellent sales tool brings enhanced customer service to your customers.

Your creative staff can continue to build ads in QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign or Multi-Ad Creator. There is always an archive of every ad and element used and ProductionManagerPro allows for one-click creation of EPS or PDF versions of each ad.
